Hi @stormcharmer ,
I don't know about cross posting or other platform niceties. Not my area of expertise. However, you seem to be a fluent writer. Write another story, with another prompt and post it here. The more you write, the better you get. I look forward to reading that story.
Good advice, @agmoore! @stormcharmer, we generally disallow cross-posts as we are trying to establish a magazine type publication resource in The Ink Well. (I'm not sure of that makes sense, but essentially, a magazine would only publish original content.) However, we can certainly make an exception since you accidentally posted to your blog instead of The Ink Well community. I did the same thing yesterday with The Ink Well prompt post! Go ahead and cross-post.
Oh, I didn't mean to another site.
I meant to my hive blog. This is not cross-posted. This was just not posted via the Inkwell community. It is just merely on my own hive blog instead. I will be sure to check that it is posted inside the community and not just from my hive page from now on! Thank you so much @jayna!
It is definitely only posted here, and 100% original.
It has not been posted on any other site. It just had the fiction tag first and so it put it into the fiction community, I think?
I think I confused everyone. ha ha!
I did not post to another site first. I posted it to Hive via my own Hive page.
The last times that I posted, I clicked on the "post through InkWell" button, and this time I forgot to hit that first.
I won't be doing that again. :-) Sorry for the trouble and confusion.
No I understand completely. You just posted to your blog instead of The Ink Well. I was just encouraging you to go ahead and use the cross-post function to make the post appear in The Ink Well even though we typically say "no cross posts." I hope that clarifies!
As I said, I made the same mistake yesterday with the prompt post. It's easy enough to do. If you don't make sure you select "post to The Ink Well" it only posts to your blog.
Oh!
I can post it again? The same post in the Ink Well - but again?
Am I understanding? ha ha!
Where is the cross-post function then? 😅
Maybe I better just leave everything alone and make sure the next one is posted correctly! Don't mind me, I'm laughing over here!
